Does anyone know of a cheap way to get these to run on a PC monitor? There has to be a way to get it done without costing a bunch. I'm thinking you have to have a TV tuner right? How can you get the RCA connections/signals converted to VGA otherwise? |

Upscalers usually run about $40 - $60 depending on the quality you need. It would probably be just about as cheap to buy a new 13" color set at Wal-Mart to use with it, or rescue a TV about to be dumped by someone who's upgrading to HD. RandyT |

As for new 13" TV's they are becoming kinda scarce at my WalMart and Craigslist isn't much help to me either. Besides, I got all these damn 15" PC monitors to get rid of...... |

to me there'd be no point in a hardware solution via PC because you could just play MAME instead. upscalers are the only other choice besides snaggin up an el cheapo used TV |
